Located in EaDo along Polk St, the "We Love Houston" sign is as iconic as it is touristy. Free to…read morethe public, it is the ultimate photo op, one of the city's most famous public art displays, and a true love letter to the city. The only thing required is a camera and some halfway decent lighting. Daytime is ideal for obvious reasons, but I think the mid-afternoon point is a good time where the light isn't too harsh and the transition to sun down makes for a cool effect. The sign is more than just the words, "We Love Houston" on it. With the right angle, the city's skyline is perfectly lined up with the letters and this is why it becomes the most ideal photo-op. EaDo is already the destination for graffiti art touring, this is really the ultimate bonus. The landmark is located right next to 8th Wonder Brewery (#1) in the backyard. Enjoy! ___________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/8th-wonder-brewery-houston-4

BEAUTIFUL PARK! I have lived in Houston for years and only ever scratched the surface of this…read moreBuffalo Bayou Park. It's so clean and I absolutely love all the wild flowers this time of year. This is one of the best place to bike in the inner loop with the separated biking and pedestrian trails. Connects to the heights and all major neighborhoods. A lovely place to get a walk or bike ride in on the evenings or weekends! There are quite a few manicured grass spots for picnics or to bring a book, as well as shaded areas. I have always felt very safe at this park. A 'not so hidden' gem as parking can be a little tough, but leads to not very busy trails. I never realized how beautiful this park is compared to the days I would only drive by!

The Houston Cistern at Buffalo Bayou Park is not only an amazing piece of Houston history but also…read morea wonderful structure to tour. In a city that is known for tearing down and paving over so much of our history, it is wonderful that this was saved and has been made into a place that visitors can visit and experience. I went with some friends from Kingwood on a Photo Walk of the area, we were lucky that the light and sound experience was still going on, each column in the cistern has LED lighting that changes to the tune of some aethereal music playing silently, the acoustics of the cistern make it sound so beautiful and mesmerizing. When you purchase your ticket online you choose one of the available times, upon entry they give you 30 minutes, the time passed quickly. Be ready if you are taking pictures or better yet, a video. Smart phones work great but you might consider turning off auto focus and just focusing manually if you know how because when it gets dark for a moment and then the lights come on most cameras auto focus has to search for focus so it goes in and out of focus. When you leave, there is a skateboard park up above and worth some time for taking pictures of the acrobatic skating going on.

I like history and things that are free/cheap so this location ticked both boxes when I was looking…read morefor something to do with my family while visiting the Houston area. I mean, who can pass up a cool memorial that is similar to the Washington monument in DC but it's in Texas so bigger (of course). We came on an afternoon during the hot, mid-June sun and there was not a soul there. The indoor museum was closed and we thought the whole park was closed at first, but no, it was just hot and most sane people were indoors. Hey, we're Minnesotans, we thrive in harsh weather conditions, mother nature be damned. We wandered around the grounds to see what this place had to offer. The monument with reflecting pond was cool to walk around, it is a really tall monument that can be seen for miles. Not a lot of stuff is built up around it though, so it feels way out in the middle of nowhere. It was also somewhat unnerving that we didn't see other people. A few more crazy people like us came after awhile and eased our nerves. It seems most people give a quick walk around the tower and then leave. Unfortunately, there was no battleship on the property as some other sites and reviews mention. That was a bummer, I would have gladly paid to take a look at that piece of history. That was kind of the ticket I used to get my family here, so once they figured out there wasn't a boat here, we packed up the car and left. Still a great piece of history that holds a special place in the heart of Texans (and the nation) everywhere. Interesting historical story to read about later too after visiting the site and seeing it first hand.

Everything was closed. 97'f certainly didn't help either. It is literally a small alley with colorful umbrellas and murals. Someone must have sprayed some graffiti as there were white paint covering the murals. Stayed for 3 minutes and left. Plenty of street parking. Walked over to the next block and there was a gallery scene painted on the exterior wall. I'd discourage to come all the way just for the alley but check it out if in the area.

They advise you to wait for photographs and videos at the end. And if you are late by any chance... they do have you wait on the side to not interrupt the artist.
